I came to you with best intentions.

Whee, life. (Reply)

I had a great moment today. Backstory: his mom and I are moving a row of well-established hibiscus before they start growing, while the ground is super soft. We managed to break the first root ball in half. As I was working on splitting one of the halves, I slipped and fell. There was nothing around me, I fell flat on my back, and I didn't fight it. There was a split-second of awareness as I began to fall (knew I wasn't going to get hurt falling on the muddy grass) and I gave in.

I hit the ground and started laughing. I stayed like that for a few seconds, sprawled on the grass, laughing, red-faced and sweaty and mud-covered. I felt alive.

I am unapologetically happy today and I'm going to write and craft and enjoy this feeling as long as it lasts.
